Lifebox is a global nonprofit making surgery and anesthesia safer worldwide. Through tools, training, and partnerships we make surgery safer for every patient, every time.
Our programs work across three core pillars of Safer Surgery – improving anesthesia safety, reducing surgical infection, and strengthening teamwork.
Equipping surgical teams with essential tools for safer patient care.
Building skills in healthcare providers through training.
Working in partnership with a global network of clinicians.
As we mark more than a decade of making surgery and anesthesia safer worldwide, we wanted to share the milestones that we have achieved, together, so far. Thank you to every one of you who has been part of the Lifebox story. Join us to make surgery and anesthesia safer at 400 hospitals in 20 countries in the next three years.
